5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book May 19, 2013
I bought this book for my 4 year old son. He loves to read it to me and to himself during quiet time. Teach my dog 100 words it the only harder beek for early readers. We also have the big blue book which we love. I look foward to buying more Big "Color" books as my children learn to read.

This whole series gets points for (a) being fun; (b) being compact--you can take just one with you when you go on a trip, and still entertain your kid for days.
